Woe is me!

Here I am 19 days into this Lenten discipline and I'm thinking seriously, 21 more days to go. I am already thinking ahead to what I will have for breakfast on Easter morning and will I be able to go out for breakfast before worship. Now there is something seriously wrong with this picture. There are hundreds of thousands, millions of men, women, and children who can't even imagine thinking of Easter morning breakfast. They are worried about breakfast right now.

As I write these words I am reminded of Christ's sacrifice for us and isn't this "fasting" I'm doing meant to remind me of that? Christ calls us to sacrifice during Lent, but we are called to sacrifice every day. When you see the least of these........I want to do more. I want to be more. I want to give more. I want to sacrifice. Thanks be to God.
